1981 Chevy K10 Square Body Restoration: The Do-It-Yourself Guide

[@bigblockkings1031]

That truck actually looked pretty good before you pointed out all the rust and dents. You guys did an amazing job 👏 👏👏 White paint is kind of hard to do but you killed it.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Thank you very much amino! It turned out great!

[@timwindsor03]

[@jezziwild7]

The commentary on the video is A+ great job on the truck lot of tedious work went in on this before the paint would hide the structurin 👍

[@IronHorseGarage]

Thank you very much for watching! We appreciate it. It's definitely not an easy task.

Hey Horsemen. Good video. Keep up the quality work. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

[@IronHorseGarage]

Thank you very much Andy!!

[@1968CudaGuy]

Had a 1983 3/4 ton GMC about 10 years ago that I wish I had still.. Needed a lot of work when I got it so I took care of the mechanical stuff first. Was using to haul landscaping material around so the bed was pretty gnarly looking but it did the job.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Right on, still plenty out there. Thank you very much for watching!

[@MillCreekFabShop]

Always enjoy this video. People are going to accuse you of being professional, be careful.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Hahaha, thanks Joey!

[@TurlosGarage]

Awesome job!

[@WildWestGarage]

Nice!

[@IronHorseGarage]

Thank you very much sir!!

[@timhudson8958]

You should have pulled the glass. Use weld through primer on your replacement panel/patches . Nice work!

[@IronHorseGarage]

You should always pull the glass but it's not always feasible. Thank you for watching!

[@OttoBacker55]

Great video! Awesome work. One question: Shouldn't that paint fully cure before wax?

[@IronHorseGarage]

Absolutely, the video is put together so it looks fast, but this whole process took months. The clear should sit for a couple weeks before wet sanding, buffing, and wax. Thank you very much for watching!

[@taylorh3930]

Looks great I'm going to start the metal work next week on a crew cab square body 🤠

[@IronHorseGarage]

Thank you very much! That's awesome!

[@whoiswaynereynolds5457]

I used to use heat and cold water to straighten drivelines

[@IronHorseGarage]

Very interesting indeed!

Someone RUINED my truck, but Iron Horse Garage will make it new again!

[@IronHorseGarage]

Oh you know it!

[@jaysenwarner6125]

"Iron Horse" was/is HMH-461's call sign. Any connection?

[@IronHorseGarage]

Nope, but that's awesome!

[@Ibthelilgeeman]

I have a question is it more money to do that or just buy a new door or new quarter panel?

[@IronHorseGarage]

A lot of the time it's cheaper to buy an entire panel if what you have is extensively damaged. If you can work the area in a short time, it would save some money. So you just need access the time vs money. Thank you for watching!

[@Ibthelilgeeman]

@@IronHorseGarage thank you for you responding back . Some channels don't write back or if they do they only do a few that's it. But thank you. I've seen a 1978 Chevy Silverado k20 4x4 that runs but it needs some love. I wasn't sure if I should get it because all the work but they price seems good . But not sure if the 4x4 works or not and from the pics it don't look like a lot of cancer or rust on it only in a few spots . Well that's what I can see in the pic . The guy wanted $2,700 but is willing to negotiate. That's why I was wondering if it's cheaper to fix the spots or just get a whole new panel or door or hood .

[@IronHorseGarage]

No problem at all. Just make sure to ask questions and inspect everything. Check the floorboards and cab corners, also the wheel wells. Good luck with the purchase!

[@Ibthelilgeeman]

@@IronHorseGarage thank you

[@raymondwhite11]

The voice narration is so cringe, it's really hard to watch, that and the music overlay... Yikes! I had to stop watching.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Well it didn't scare you off enough not to leave a comment!
